 +My current research is about making security usable for IT professionals (developers, system administrators and such) that lack a specialized training in computer security. I focus on cryptographic interfaces (both programmable and command-line) of developer tools and software libraries. Currently, the emphasis is placed on X.509-capable libraries, such as OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS, paying special attention to the process of certificate creation and validation.

 +Before coming to usable security I was interested in randomness testing and helped develop the [[https://github.com/crocs-muni/eacirc|EACirc project]], the automatic problem solver based on circuit-like representation and genetic programming.

-It can be utilized as randomness testing tool similar to statistical batteries (NIST STS, Dieaharder, TestU01), for instance for analysis of cryptographic function outputs. It uses supervised learning techniques based on metaheuristics to construct adapted distinguisher of two input data streams. The distinguisher can be represented as hardware-like circuits or algebraic polynomial.

We run a course for student starting to teach ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/DUCIT|Teaching Lab course]]). We've designed a [[https://github.com/mukrop/teachers-reflective-diary|Teacher's reflective diary]] to help teachers improve their skills by reflection.

 +==== Other activities ====
 +
 +I'm an avid member of the the organization for experiential learning called [[https://www.instruktori.cz/|Instruktoři Brno]] aiming to inspire people, broaden their experience and lead them to self-improvement.
 +
 +I co-organize(d) multiple activities bringing enthusiasm for informatics natural sciences to secondary-school students. This includes the online programming puzzle hunt [[https://interlos.fi.muni.cz/|InterLoS]] or the multidosciplinary event [[https://intersob.math.muni.cz/|InterSoB]]. These activities are covered by the [[https://zverinec.fi.muni.cz/|Friends of the nordic animals association]] (a student club at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University).
